Racist Fish

I have a fish tank and I’m somewhat worried that they’re going to embarass me sometime when I have company. Since they’re fish, they’re kind of skittish and hide a lot when people come over and look through the glass, regardless of who is looking. Suppose, however, that I bring a friend of a different race or ethnicity over and the fish hide. Do I just assume that it had nothing to do with my friends’ skin tone or do I play it safe and apologize? Sorry, the fish have been watching a lot of ‘The Wire’ and they’re kind of freaked out by Marlo Stanfield. They mean well but they’re just a little sheltered, you know. They’re fish.

Racist Fish are buster. Keep coming back.
